To my surprise I have been invited to the Ubuntu Developers Summit in
Mountain View early next month (as a "ROCKSTAR", to quote Mark), to promote PulseAudio. And that although I am not an
Ubuntu developer, nor even much of an Ubuntu user. I'll be available for
discussing everything Multimedia/PulseAudio related. While I've not been
invited because of my involvement in Avahi/Zeroconf I will, of course, also be
available for discussion of these topics. As it appears, Canonical is not
resentful, or maybe it's just their way to bribe me into registering with
Launchpad? ;-)

After UDS I plan to stay a few more days in San Francisco to visit the city.
Can anyone point me to cheap accomodation in SF, or perhaps even lives in SF and
has room where I could sleep?

In addition my PulseAudio presentation has been accepted at linux.conf.au 2007. At GNOME.conf.au I hope to give
another presentation, together with Trent Lloyd about Avahi, everyone's favourite Zeroconf
implementation. And finally I plan to give yet another presentation, again about
PulseAudio, at FOMS 2007, the Foundations of Open Media Software
conference, which happens shortly before linux.conf.au, also in Sydney. FOMS
is still looking for more people to speak at the conference, so, please go to
their CFP page
and send in your proposal if you have something to talk about!
